The commercial drivers of health

Author(s):  
Davies and

This chapter explores how the food, alcohol, and tobacco industries serve as commercial drivers for ill health, and describes examples of legislation aimed at shifting the dial towards better outcomes for all. Companies, especially multinationals, influence our health in a number of ways, ranging from their effect on the physical environment to their influence on government policy and the marketing strategies they use to promote their products in search of profit. The increasing reach and power of multinationals across all industry sectors in recent years has led to an increase in the extent to which they shape our environments and health behaviours, and this relationship is only becoming more intertwined. Alongside governments and multinationals, ‘new power’—the combination of social movements, social media, and purpose—is already re-shaping the world around us, empowering citizens and giving us cause for optimism.

Social media offer an avenue for the formation of citizen-driven global networks that are vital to mobilizing international support and curating global public discourse in social movements. This study looks into the global flow of information and communication about Hong Kong's Occupy Central Movement with a focus on the country/territory-level international network that emerged on Twitter. Drawing on the world systems theory and the literature on social movement, it examines whether the globalization of a local social movement via social media is circumscribed by the existing order of the world system (i.e., from the developed core countries/territories to the developing peripheral). It focuses its analysis on the network structure and the predictors of countries/territories’ centrality in the network. Findings of the social network analysis show that the structure of the international network still follows the existing order of the world system to a large extent. It is further supported by the result of the multivariate analysis that national income, a widely used benchmark for determining a country/territory's position in the world economy, is significantly and substantially related to centrality. However, national income does not have the largest predicting power. Instead, a country/territory's level of political grievances is found to be the strongest predictor. In addition, countries/territories with high Internet penetration rates tend to have high-centrality scores, and yet the effect size is smaller than the other predictors.

Chapter one establishes the organizational context that facilitated the integration of diverse female athletes into the UFC brand. A “millennial sports media brand,” such as the UFC, deploys branding and marketing strategies characteristic of the millennial generation while simultaneously courting fans from this same demographic. In fact, the UFC might have faded into obscurity in the mid-2000s had the brand not begun experimenting with digital platforms and social media. The UFC enthusiastically embraced digital media, began actively seeking global audience demographics by representing fighters from around the world, and integrated a “we are all fighters” brand maxim, an ethos that understands diversity as something every fighter and fan possesses. Each of these approaches combine to create a millennial sports media brand ready to promote and exploit diverse female athletes.


In the previous chapter, the authors briefly looked at different aspects of branding and how they should be implemented within companies. Recently, the world of marketing has seen a revolutionary shift, as traditional media—which until now were dominating the world of marketing—are becoming less effective, and instead, social media is gaining more power. In this chapter, the authors compare the impacts of traditional and social media on brand equity and also look at how different measures such as customer lifetime value, customer influencer value, and customer knowledge value are being affected by social media platforms. Social media are examined more closely to see how they are composed and what building blocks they use. This helps managers to better integrate social media in their marketing strategies in order to gain the most bang for their buck.

Social media has played important roles in social movements in many parts of the world. It has been used to raise people's awareness about the injustice they suffer as well as to mobilize them to challenge a repressive government. Social media enables people to define public interests by themselves, taking over the role previously taken by elites. It is all due to its simplicity which allows anyone to be both a producer and consumer of information. Citizens are no longer the spectators of political games played by the elites, but they can participate and even mobilize public opinions challenging those in power. The possibility of anonymous interactions allows anyone to express any view without the fear of disapproval and sanction, which leads to the plurality of discourse, which in turn increases the possibility of democratization. However, the impact of social media is not deterministic, and it is not always beneficial to public. Even those in power can use it to preserve the existing hierarchy of power.
